Ya know, sometimes......


....you've reeeaaaallllly got to compare statistical evidence against empirical evidence.

If you travel a fair bit and you drink a fair bit.....watch THIS

....and I'll rest my case!

No, I'm not saying that I'm right at all....but this flies in the face of what I have personally seen and what others have told me through the course of their travels.....but hey: If Mr. Forbes said so!!!

.....was reading a trade journal at work about transportation planning, and did a bit of research. Apparently, Denver has finished T-REX.

This sucks, because NOW, they're working on voter-approved Fastracks, and between the fact that they already had an ass-kicking public transit system (that is only going to get better) that services ALL of the metropolitan area well and not just the central urban core (*AHEM*....are you listening, Tri-Met?) and two brilliantly-written daily newspapers, it brings a slight longing for the Mile-High City to me.....

However, given the step-on-everybody-else-to-get-what's-yours materialistic sort of culture that is (and has been for a while now) pervasive in a large majority of the citizenry there, plus the fact that there's no large body of water or urban-area rainforests for a great distance, the aforementioned longing is quickly tempered.....
